Mafia Life (Running) by Maya Jodah
Running through the woods like there was nothing left for me to do. Getting chased by the person you loved for years. You have trusted, believed, and also loved. I try hard to convince him that I’ll change, but he never listens to me. But little did I know when I started to lose a lot of air I passed out. I felt this gentle touch on my arm and it dragged me through the woods. I could hear people talking while I laid down on the cold ground. I woke up in someone’s bed. When I got up, I heard someone walking. I grabbed the gun that was on the desk next to me and pointed it at the girl. It was this girl with brown hair. She stared at me with this clueless face. “You that girl that got chased in the woods, huh?” she said I didn’t answer. I just stood there straight and tall and pointed the gun at her face. “Boss won’t like it if you kill me,” she said smiling. “Take me to the boss now!” I replied, trying to calm down. “It’s not that easy. As you can see, I work with the boss. And he will be proud if I kill you. Even though you were his ex. That is kind of weird, but I will still kill you,” she said, grabbing her phone off the desk. “Kill me? I wanna see you try,” I said, holding the gun in my hand, pointing it at her head. “My name is Hannah,” Hannah said, holding out her hands. “I don’t care what your name is.” I said, just continuing to point the gun at her face. Then this other guy walked in and looked at me. “You’re Ava?” he said. “Who’s asking?” I replied. “Boss wanted to know if you were up, and why are you pointing a gun at Hannah?” he said, moving Hannah to the other side of the room. “Because I don’t know who she is. And also you too,” I said. “Well, just go to the boss and he’ll explain everything.” he said, hugging Hannah. 95
